I am also interested by that.
Any ideas?
Basically, I would like to know if TV out is possible to connect it to my car entertainment device that I am planning to buy :
Din 1, 7 inch with DVD, GPS, Bluetoth, USB.
This will transform this device to a mobile device with a large screen from where I can surf, chat, play games etc...(launch all apps from the HTC HD2)
Any ideas?
It's not possible. Sorry, but it really is that simple.
Thanks for the answer.
Is this because of the harware that does not support it or is it because there is no driver developped by HTC?
i really think thats a driver problem only Maybe there is a way to stream video signal over wifi or bluetooth? it's kinda strange thing to do but i think it's possible using a software?
I read in a forum that via the 3,5mm jack it might be possible to video out (it was for another phone).
If Hardware does not support it via micro USB, we are stuck I guess,
If it is a driver issue, xda gurus might develep one,
If micro USB does not support it, what about the 3,5 mm jack?
I am not an expert at all, but I am just brainstorming...
Any thoughts?
This is the message I got rom HTC Support
Thank you for your enquiry about HTC HD2
To answer question 1 and 2, the HD2 does not support video out as it does not have a built in video out socket nor would you be able to achieve this via the 3,5mm jack.
It is not a built in function to handle this via bluetooth I could only suggest you try to look up some 3rd party program, but I could not provide support for this.
Best regards,
Dennis

Well actually, the HD2 does support video out! Using myMobiler you can display in full screen on your PC what's going on on your HD2. And if in turn, you connect your PC to your TV you could also watch your HD2 on your 50'' Full HD TV screen
OK, I'm joking here, the quality would be terrible, but still, it goes to show that it's possible to have video come out from the micro USB port and be displayed on a much larger screen, so maybe someone will go one step further!

I basically wanted to connect my HD2 to a Car Entertaniement device which has a 7 inch touch-screen, 'genre auto-radio', (7 ' Din1, DVD, GPS, Bluetooth, USB) in order to take advantage of all features/applications from the HTC (Google maps, dictionnaires, enclyclopedia, 3G, opera, chat etc).
Mymobiler will not help at all.
The HTC Touch Pro supports the video-out; The HTC DH2 does not support it as it is now. I have seen on http://wmpoweruser.com/ a guy making a video out cable for this LG eXpo. Check the video. Why can't we do it?
It shouldn't be difficult to make a video out cable...
Via a redfly?
If you were really committed, you could grab a Celiocorp Redfly, wait until they release the HD2 driver, then use the media cable to output to video...
Then, for the transmission of the video, you could use either bluetooth or micro-USB.
So it's technically possible with the right hardware...
The closest thing you'll get to TV out on the HD2 is the ability to set it as a media server, but that will require some kind of media browser client. I've done this with my PS3 and a Nokia N95, but the software is currently under development for the WM platform.
See here...
http://mobileosgi.blogspot.com/2009/08/dlna-media-server-for-smart-phones.html
Incidentally, they use a PS3 on the demo video, but that is not required. Also, you can use this to stream video, not just pictures.
problem is
phones that output through the 3.5 jack have an extra connector inside the socket to carry the image channel so there is no way to adapt a standard 3.5 output to carry video regardless of software. (not taking mine apart to look if its 2 or 3 chanel of course hehe)
as for through the usb im less sure but i'd guess it would only be able to send to host devices and not client peripherals. course, I'd be more than happy to be told otherwise.

The processor has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not the device can output video. It needs specific hardware to do this and it is not included in this device, neither through the USB port or the 3.5mm jack socket.
It is 100% impossible to implement a "fix" for this with software because the device simply does not have the hardware required.
Actually, Snapdragon processors DO support TV-Out. The Acer s200 (neo touch) and Toshiba TG01 both run on Snapdragon and support TV-Out. What I think the problem is, is that the hardware is there, but HTC just haven't implemented it. Meaning that they simply have not connected the function. Which is actually a shame as this was the only thing the pushed me away from this spectacular device and choose the Omnia B7610 instead, because it is a better all round device.

You need a lot more than just processor support for TV out functionality, so the hardware is not there. Some of it is, but only 1 small part.
Exactly! That's why I was disappointed with the HD2. Seeing as Acer and Tosh both implemented the tv out functionality from the core, why didn't HTC do the same? Surely it wouldn't cost them THAT much more would it?
As far as I understand, this is a hardware related issue and not driver related? If it is driver related, I am sure one day this driver would be coded and made available in this forum.
I was palnning to video out to my car DVD entertainment touch screen device in order to be able to use google maps, opera, dictionnaries etc..
This plan will ne be feasible then...
You can use the hd2 as an usb-stick. With that function i can view movies and listen to music on my Alpine touchscreen radio.
Is it possible to connect USB hard drives to the phone to access its files? I think I read something like that in a review a few days ago. It really got me wondering. I think the reviewer said the Nokia N8 also has this feature. Can anybody confirm?
There is a youtube video showing this, its several weeks old (searching for galaxy S2 usb host should bring it up, at work so can't get into youTube to supply you a link).
Thanks a lot! Seems to work just fine!
Here's the video if anyone needs it:

Yep, looks good. I purchased an el-cheapo adapter from Ebay to try out when I get my SGSII in a week or so (its been confirmed to work with the Xoom, so hopefully will work here too, the official ones aren't slated for release until June).
Be interesting to know whether it will do more than just USB drives - USB keyboard/mouse/gamepad support would be nice too!

It seems working smoothly with a probably FAT32 usb stick, the question is would it do the same with an ext3 (don't even dare to ask NTFS...) external hard drive?
Go to the accessories forum and look at my thread there on USB OTG - my video is a lot better than the one shared in this thread FWIW.
Hello , I have recently upgraded my phone to HTC One X but wish to use my HD2 for use of my camera as a remote shutter / remote focus app.
I notice various people have made free / paid for apps to do this on android providing you have host mode
I have installed various additions of ICS onto the device but cant seem to get the camera to be detected (i understand i have to power the usb cable as the hd2 doesnt output power), i can get the free shutter release app to work on my touchpad but do not wish to pay for the full app until i can get it to work on my hd2 (which i will just keep in my camera bag) , does anyone know of any rom that does have host mode working, or has anyone used any apps that do what im looking for on the HD2
assuming its not possible , does anyone know of a cheap small android device that would support it?
Set everything up, try the pro version, and then if it doesn't work then get a refund?
Well i cant seem to get the shutter release to work and the description says to test if it will work use that first (which it doesnt) so im wondering if anyone has got host mode working / camera linkup working and what rom was used etc.
Try different ROM/kernal.

Do you haven any suggestions which one may work (i have tried various ones with no success)
Look for the thread on development of USB Host mode in the NAND Development section. Normal, daily use kernels do not support USB Host...
Swyped from HTC HD2 using xda premium
Hi,
I browsed whole forum, but I didn't find any answer. I have this usb sound card "i-tec 7.1.Channel Audio Adapter" (can't post link), is there any possibility, that it will work with Galaxy Note 3? If there is any tested card which works I don't have problem to buy new one.
My desktop is broken so I'm considering, if to buy new one or replace desktop with my phone. I have 5.1 speakers and I can't find any solution how to connect it to phone. Could any one advise me how to do it?
I ask before trying anything, because I don't want to buy any useless accessories.
Thank you for your answers
usb sound card
anyone?
it is shown in this video youtube.com/watch?v=9nh2NSLgaII at 1:17
I don't how to set it up like this.
Hello,
Like in subject, I can't find answers on the Internet, maybe some owner could help me out?
1) Is there a way to listen to music while charging the phone? Or watch a movie with normal Jack headset while charging the phone?
2) Are call recording applications, like i.e. 'Call Recorder ACR' (name taken from Google Play) working correctly? I remember I had some problems with recording on some models, currently I have Xperia Z which records calls flawlessly. This is one of the most important things for me and I would appreciate if someone could answer.
3) Does it have an application which allows to do manual focusing during shooting of a photo? It doesn't need to be the official camera app that has this capability, can be some alternative camera app.
4) Can you save movies from camera application to location on dynamic USB stick? I.e. you plug in an USB stick to your phone, can you record movies to this pendrive directly?
Thanks for any answers
mmm very specific questions, to be honest I can only answer you on the first one and it is a no, as of today there is no adapter to do that with a 3.5mm headphones, you can use bluetooth to do it. The other questions you may use apps from the play store or any other source I think
3,yes . never tried 4. but should be yes, it's standard feature for android.
I just tried acr. It does record both sides of the call. However, the volume of the other side is significantly louder than your own voice. You can still hear both sides, but not comfortably.
Thanks guys, very much appreciated!
By the way, @qingcai, what "should be" and what "is" are often different things , I know about the possibility to write videos/photos directly to SD card, but I've never actually seen possibility to write directly to external USB drive. Since I haven't seen it in at least 5 different phones, it seems for me that it's not a standard Android feature

I just tried, and I don't see any option in the camera app to change the storage. Tried google camera too.
find a otg cable, and plug in a pen drive and see.
